Scope
This standard specifies the definition, requirements, test methods, inspection rules, and packaging, marking, transportation, and storage of medical ultrasound coupling agents. This standard applies to medical ultrasound coupling agents (hereinafter referred to as "products"), including those manufactured and sold by enterprises as commodities, as well as those self-made and self-used by medical units. This product is used as a sound-transmitting medium between the probe (or treatment head) and the skin during ultrasound diagnosis and treatment operations. This standard can be used as a reference for medical ultrasound coupling pads. This standard does not apply to products that come into direct contact with tissue incisions during intraoperative ultrasound operations. For products with other characteristics (such as sterility or disinfection), manufacturers should supplement their corresponding requirements.
